Tofu, go hide in a closet or something. I was born and raised in an NFL city. Many of the players did not make more than my lower middle class parents did. They weren't well served by the NFLPA and the current crop of millionaires. Peejz mentions OJ. OJ was a star who got to make movies, etc. He had ample opportunities to make money. Let me just start wit a bit of the story of Willie Wood. Willie was a safety on the Lombardi Packers. No one made real money on the Packers then. Bill Curry tried and was traded. Donnie Anderson was the first player to get some money, but it was a pittance compared to what a first round pick makes today. Back to Willie. Willie needs medical attention and is broke. He can not walk without assistance. Jerry Kramer did a fund raiser for him and is founding an organization to help the old NFL players the current NFLPA, owners, and TV are neglecting. Paul Hornung never made the money a Ryan Leaf made or Palmer with the Bengals is making, and Hornung was as much a star in college as they were, and more. This being said, I think Congress should butt out. All they do is make things worse. This is a serious subject. Tofu, go hide in a closet or something.
